IS will not give you a faster shutter speed. What it does is reduce blur caused by camera shake. @Jon Austin: IS helps with telephoto handheld or in low light, but it doesn’t significantly help in sports.

It really helped me. A friend has told me that getting image stabilization was critical in telephoto shooting when not using a tripod. What are your thoughts. I have a Canon EOS SLR with the standard lens. I see a lot of abbrevations with lenses that look the same. I figured that IS means image stabilization. What do the following mean. DO, USM, ETC...

They all should work fine unless you are going to be shooting in low light... There are a couple 70-300mm lenses in that price range.

Great stuff. I am in the market for a lens. I am in many ways a beginner but I have been working hard at improving my craft. I own a Canon Digital Rebel and was wondering if you could recommend a Telephoto Zoom that would be a great next step beyond the lens that came with the camera. I have been looking at some nice 2.8 lenses, but they are just way out of my price range. Anything I can get for around $200, or am I just going to have to make the big investment right off? Thanks so much if you can give me any kind of input. Mark Hello John
